EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM LISBON, DATED SEPT. 1. ,We have rumours here that Almeida fell on the 27th, at night. An account said to have just been received, states, that the tftnches were opened on the 24th ult, and that on the 27th a magazine blew up, sk hick did such damage to the place that its sur render was the consequence. The place is certain ly of some consequence, but the loss by no - means renders our atlairs desperate. Colonel Cox, Com mandant of the place, is safe. It is not impossible but this may have been the-effeel of treachery. , KINCIONI OF MURCIA. ALI CA JULY 28.—The uncle and worthy GllC ccs-or of •the immortal Mina, in the command of hi, party, has routed 800 Govachos*, in the neigh bourhood of Patnpeluna, taking 400 prisoners, three pieces of cannon, one howitzer, and four waggons of ammunition, NMI many other articles of value.. Auonsr I.—The following is an extra& from a letter from Navarra, to an inhabitant of.this town— " I enclose to you the Gazette, NuMber 14 and 15, there are more of thew, but they have not reached us, on account of the couriers having been intercepted by the Guerrillas, who now often exhibit an .eittiaordinary vigour' and increased numb,Ts." , The uncle of Mina, whom the double-tongued Gazettes of Gauachos gave up for dead at the Venta de Reubria, has resuscitated with such vigour, that after 'hat ing beaten the French in Peralta, Ostella, the Carascal, &c. in which actions he killed and ma-le prisoners more than 1000 men, and took 1000 cavalry sabres, a great quantity of clothes, various carriages with cartouches, and two pieces of can non. A few days past he had the boldness to de re ind rations at Pampeluni. The Magistrates, alarmed at the message of Mina, presented it to the Governor Dufour, who ordered that what be tasked should be immediately given him. 'Mina, seeing the favourable result of this de mand, has since required from the same town 700 ounces of gold, threatening, in case of a dental, to .cot off the water from the fountains, and to seize the numerous flocks provisioning the city. From that time the communications were intercepted, and some couriers were yes'erday compelled to turn back, after having got within about three leagues, the Guerillas having prevented them from pro ceeding farther. From this may be inferred the aspe6t which affairs are assuming, and also how the charatter of the Navarrians is beginning to un fold itself.. AUGUST 6.—Letters, under the date of the 23d of July, from Seron, .a town of the Province of Soria, states, that according to some accounts re ceived there, the French, after leaving Brihuega„ encountered with a party under Manco;. and adds, that the party took from them 500,000 reals, which they were escorting. AUGUST 10.—The garrison of Cobarrubias, in the Province of Burgos, has been surprized by the party of the brave Durates Merino and Sulaza. Of 112 men, including five officers and seven serjeants, the whole were killed, except thirty, who were made pt isoners. AUGUST 11.—On the 2d of last month Don Jose Caro reached Peniscola, accompanied by Meld Mar shals Don Juan Caro, and the Senores Carvajal, OeDonnoju and Cabret. On the 4th, at six in the morning, they proceeded towards Alcala, where the eight pieces of cannon, which were sent froM Valencia under the command of Colonel Arce, were to arrive on the same day. According to the dispo sition which have been made, it is expe6ted that the Valencian army will soon operate with vigour against the enemies of Tortosa, which place re mains unappalled; for, though the enemy have eenstrueled a covered way near the head of the bridge, from which they molest the town with triuseeetry, they have not yet been able to mount cite piece of artillery against it. General O'Donnei entered Tortosa on the 3lst of lasi month, and reinforced that garrison with 2000 if:jaw:yr, and 300 cavalry; so that we have now Genet men in that fortress, who will make a brit teett sally when a proper opportunity occurs. * Ties is a term of reproach which the Spaniards apply to the French. The Cortes were to assemble on the first day of the resent month at Cadiz, and all the precautions, whiLli prudence could suggest, had been adopted by 60 - vernment, to prevent the tumult which was ap prehended trom French intrigues, at the opening this long-neglected National Diet. This event will torin a new xra in the history of Spain, and the recovery of long lost rights will give additional energy to the zeal of the Spaniards, by clearly point in; out to them what they are to, fightfor.

SOLENT bUIS DICER! TrAT.SUM ALIDEAT? L 0 N D 0 A, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1810.' We are happy to inform our Readers, that our Expedition from Cadiz Under Captain COCKBURN has completely succeeded. The troops landed at the mouth of Rio Tinto, between the Guadiana and Guadalquiver, and completely surprised the Due D'AREMBERG at Moquer, took 700 infantry and 100 cavalry; the Duke himself and a few dragoons only having ell - ea - led their escape. This morning Mails from Gottenbtrgh and Heli goland arrived; by the former we have received no intelligence, except a report, very vaguely Stated, that English merdhandize .has been confiscated in Sweden. If, however, such an important event had taken place, the news doubtless would have reached us in a more distina and authentic shape. A kind of official document has been published by the Swedish Government, in which it is boldly asserted that BuoNArAtt-ris did not interfere in the election of BERNADOTTE to be / Crown Prince ; it is also added, that BERNADOTTE did not, as zwas re ported, make any offers of a pecuniary nature to promote his elec: . The German Papers contain some lamentations for the unfortunate defeat and destruelion of the Neapolitan Flotilla, and for the consequent post ponement of the Invasion of Sicily ; but we are in clined to think that MAT is not very sorry that he has some excuse for abandoning an attempt which he knew would have terminated in defeat and uis grace. The report that Foucua, alias the-Duke Of OTRANTO, was under arrest, appears to be un founded ; .he has taken a house at •Naples, where he intends to reside as a private person. It is not, how ever, impossible that this residence has been pre scribed to him, i I order that he may be under the surveillance of MURAT. Another account, however, states, thatlie had set out on his return to Paris. Letters:from Vienna state, that the Russians have sustained some severe checks :from the Turks.— \Ve think that the Russian Government must be tired of a war in which they have lavished so much blood and treasure, and which they are‘carry ing on merely to promote the views of BUONAPARTE. Dispatches were received yesterday from Lord WELLINGTON, by which it appears that the Enemy opened his fire upon Almeida on the night of the 2,5 h ult. and obtained possession of• the place on the night of the 27th. Some prisoners taken on the 28th report, tha; the magazines of the fort blew up on the night of the 25th ; that on the 27th the Governor proposed to surrender the place on condition that the garrison and inhabitants might join Lord WELLINGTON' army, but this proposal having been refused, the fire was renewed, after which he held out while his ammunition lasted, and surrendered at two- A. M. of the 28th; that offers had been made to the gar rison to take them into the French service, but they all preferred being sent prisoners to France. This account seems to be corroborated by an ex plosion having been heard at our outposts, and by observations made on the cessation and renewal of the enemy's fire. The weather had interrupted Lord WELLINGTON'S telegraphic communication with Almeida on the 26th and great part of the 27th, so that he had not an opportunity of know ing its situation after the explosion of the magazine. Lord WELLINGTON has again moved his in fantry to the valley of Mondego, keeping a division at Guards ; his cavalry out-posts at Alverca, and his head-quarters at Celerico. On the 28th some skir mishes took place between - the picquets. Captain LYGON, of the Wilt, was wounded. A picquet of the Royal Dragoons made a gallant and successful charge upon the body of the enemy, and took some prisoners. REGNIER has made no material movement; sixty of his cavalry had been cut off b; a troop of the 13th Light Dragoons and a coop of the 14th Portuguese Light Dragoons, ,under Captain WHITE, and the whole were made prisoners, except the commanding officer and one man, who were killed. This has been a very creditable affair to the allied Cavalry. In the North, 'a French Corps advanced on the eoih to Alcanizas, but on the approlch of Genera SILVIERA from Braigunza, they retired immediately. Lord WELLiNGToN'siDispatches are dated Celerico. 29th ult. The Swiss battalion, near 500 strong, taken at Puebla de Senebria, have arrived at Corunna.

The Proclamation statec, that the Junta, after their imtallation, had resolved not only to respect the persons of the " Real Au diencia," but to retain them in their employments, and to consult them in the proceedings necessary for the government of the country, requiting them, however, to take an oath of submission to the new order of things; that the Audiencia,"however, treat ed the Junta with indifference, and even contempt, and that two of their Members, on attending the Junta, displayed o:arks of open -insult. At leogtlt, as we before stated, the Junta deemed it necessary to remove the whole of these Ministers, and send them to the Mother Country. The people appear to take part with the Junta.

Perhaps the important Dispatches alluded to contain it." Princess AMELIA remains in much the same way as sllehas been 16r, some tim past ; it is hoped she does not get Nvorse; but is certain her health is not by any means improved since the last report. Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, Princesses Au- GUSTA and Soon lA, went to St. George's Chapel, and heard a sermon preached by the Rev. Mr. DIGIIY, from the 19th Psalm, v. 7 and afterwards returned to the Palace. Saturday tilt:. Duke of YORK arrived at Windsor, and rode out an airing with his MAJESTY and Prin cesses AUGUSTA and SOPHIA. His Royal Highness dined with her MAJESTY and the Princesses, and visited Princess AMELIA, and in the evening set off for Oatlands. A private letter from Paris mentions, that in consequence of an order issued by SAVARY, six persons were apprehended in the suburbs of the ca pital on the 4th, and conveyed to prison.—Two of them were Military Officers of rank, and it was re ported that their crime was having conspired against the life of Ilse Emperor. An embargo has been laid on all vessels in the Danish portS in the Elbe, and the western parts of the Duchies of Sleiswig and Holstein, preparatory, it is supposed, to an attack upon Heligoland by an united French and Danish force. The following is a copy of a letter upon this subjed:— " HELIGOLAND: SEPT. 6.—We are all alarmed here at the threatened attack of the united forces of France and Denmark. There is little doubt of their intention ; accounts, both private and official, tend to confirm it. We are losing no time in making preparations to resist them, winch we trust we shall' do with success. We have formed a voluntftr corps of artillery, sharp-shooters, and infantry ; and a strong naval force is now collecting, all the vessels of war being recalled from the rivers. Besides the L' Aim able, us e have got the QueAT frigate, a large sloop of war, a great many gun-brigs, and more are daily expetted.—A great proportion of the most va luable goods is now removing to the higher town, and every arrangement making on the part of the mercantile body to provide for the worst." It is understood that the quantity of uncoined silver in the Spanish Colonies, .at this period, ex ceeds that of any other time since the discovery of mines there. The reason is, that although the mines are regularly worked, it is not usual to 'send bollitin to the mint, and thence to Europe, in time of war, except that which happens to be shipped on acconiit. of individuals, who ship at their own risk, paying first for a license, by which means the stock on hand, both on account of Government and belonging to the Merchant and Ttader, is immense beyond ex ample. .

A. gang of 25 robbers were apprehended in June, in the neighbourhood of Neuburgh and Seinitz; on the Bohemian frontiers. For a period of tour yews they had defied the utmost exertions of the civil power, committing innumei - able depredations, and amassing immense treasures. The secrecy with which their expeditions were planned, and the temerity with which they were executed, rendered ti•em a ,terror to all *the villages in their vicinity, none of whose inhabitants dared to take any steps against them. Their multiplied . offences at height reitiered it neces,ary to employ a military force, and a body ol ILO trcops were detached, who, watching ti e passes Of the mountains, dist:owL.red their remat.--- Five of the robbers were killed and eight wounded before the pug submitted.
